Re: Doc string patch for XEmacs/InfoDock.
Seems to me all you need is a function that converts a float
into the (high . low) form Emacs wants. Then feed that to
format-time-string. Or format-time-string can be made to accept
a float and do the conversion to time_t internally.
Using floats to represent integral values seems to lose accuracy
somewhere above 9e15 on my 486 box, which gives us 285 million
more years before we need worry again. I will make a note to
remind you then.
